G+G A minorAm
I have been a rover
D MajorD G+G C/GC/G G+G
I have walked alone
A minorAm
Hiked a hundred highways
D MajorD G+G G/F#
Never found a home
E minorEm B minorBm
Still in all I'm happy
C majorC C minorCm
The reason is, you see
G+G G/H C majorC C minorCm
Once in a while along the way
G/DG/D D MajorD G+G
Love's been good to me
A minorAm D MajorD
There was a girl in Denver
A minorAm D MajorD G+G G/F#
Before the summer storm
E minorEm B minorBm
Oh, her eyes were tender
C majorC D MajorD
Oh, her arms were warm
G+G Bm/F# E minorEm
And she could smile away the thunder
C majorC C/DC/D C minorCm
Kiss away the rain
G+G G/H C majorC C minorCm
And even though she's gone away
G+G D MajorD G+G
You won't hear me complain
G+G A minorAm
I have been a rover
D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
I have walked alone
A minorAm
Hiked a hundred highways
D MajorD G+G G/F#
Never found a home

There was a girl in Portland
A minorAm D MajorD G+G G/F#
Before the winter chill
E minorEm B minorBm
We used to go a-courtin'
C majorC D MajorD
Along October hill
G+G Bm/F# E minorEm
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
C majorC C/DC/D Cm/Eb
Cry away the snow
G+G G/H C majorC C minorCm
It seems like only yesterday
G+G D MajorD G+G
As down the road I go
G+G A minorAm
I have been a rover
D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
I have walked alone
A minorAm
Hiked a hundred highways

Never found a home
